The WIN party, established to fight the government's smokefree policy, has withdrawn its name from the ballot, and are now urging their members to align themselves with United Future. I guess they finally realised that they didn't have a hope in hell...

Perhaps the WIN Party is a casualty of its own peculiar logic. On their links page, under a link to a quit smoking website, they write:

“Smokers strongest protest against this present government's smoking policy is to quit. If all New Zealand's smokers quit, this government would lose more than one billion dollars a year in revenue, and some anti-smoking zealots will be out of a job.”
